On May 31, Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton is anticipated to announce the lineup for Ghana’s upcoming AFCON qualifiers.
On June 18, 2023, Ghana will play Madagascar, and the team will be hosted at the Stade Kianja Barea in Antananarivo.
Due to injuries, Hughton is anticipated to alter the team for the game.
Tariq Lamptey, Antoine Semenyo, and Mohammed Salisu are anticipated to miss out due to injuries, along with Joseph Paintsil, Mohammed Kudus, Kamaldeen Suelemana, Abdul Salis Samed, and Thomas Partey.
With 8 points, the Black Stars lead Group E in the AFCON qualifying matches.
In the first four qualifier games, the team drew with Central African Republic and Angola while defeating Madagascar and Angola twice each.
Kudus Mohammed, a midfielder for Black Stas and Ajax Amsterdam, has reportedly expressed interest in leaving the Dutch team this summer, according to his agent.
After his outstanding performances, Jennifer Mendelewitsch claimed that it was the right time for the Ghanaian to leave the Dutch giants.
Kudus has scored 18 goals and provided five assists across all competitions this season at the club level, making this his most productive period in front of goal.
Despite the Black Stars’ elimination in the group stage of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, he also scored twice and provided one assist for Ghana.
Last summer, the 22-year-old came very close to signing with Everton of the Premier League, but Ajax prevented the transfer.
